Car crash injures former PM, kills wife

Former Cambodian Prime Minister Prince Norodom Ranariddh was seriously injured on Sunday in a road crash that killed his wife and injured at least seven other people, officials said. The 74-year-old Ranariddh was in a convoy along with senior figures of his political party heading toward Sihanoukville in southwest Cambodia when a taxi traveling in the opposite direction slammed into his SUV, said a senior party member in the group. Ranariddh's wife, Ouk Phalla, died in hospital.
